ATOIVIOBILE PUMP-BRACKET.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, F RANK E. TEN Eyck, citizen of the United States,residing at Auburn, in the county of Cayuga and State ont New York, haveinvented certain new and useful improvements in Auto-mobilePumpllrackets; and l do hereby declare the tollowing to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

My present invention relates to the mode oi" attaching or securing anair pump to the trame or other parts of an automobile or other vehicleand consists of a sectional or multiple piece bracket by means of whichthe pump can be secured in position in varying constructions and dierentsituations in proper position to enable the pump to be eiiiectivclyoperated from the selected moving part of the device to which it isattached.

ln the drawings accompanying and forming part of this application, lhave shown the preferred form in which l have contemplated embodying mysaid invention and the said invention is fully disclosed in thefollowing description and claims.

ln the said drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my said bracketwhen three parts only are employed, with the pump shown in dotted linessecured to the underside of the plate to which it is attached. Fig. 2 isa top or plan view of tie parts shown in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a view inelevation showing a bracket in which four parts are employed with thepump in dotted lines secured to the upper side ot' the part to which itis attached. Fig. t is a plan or top view of suoli bracket. Fig. 5 is aperspective view of what l term the lilling piece. Fig. 6 is aperspective view of the simpler torni oit bracket. Figs. i', 8 and 9 areviews illustrating details of construction.

rlhe portion of my device that is designed to be directly attached tothe automobile or other device, is the bracket base A and is of angular,preferably right angular, form. The arms of this bracket base are ofdifferent lengths as more fully explained hereafter and the outer sideof each is channeled, see Fig. 8, and each is provided with a slot athrough which it can be securely bolted to the desired part of amachine.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 22, 1910.

Patented Mar. 2i, lgil. serial No. 598,525.

B is the pump base, or pump attaching bar to which the pump is to besecured. This bar is angular in cross section one flange of which ispreferably of uniform width and is provided with a slot or a series ofholes or apertures therethrough by which the pump can be attachedthereto in various positions. The other )flange b is provided at eachend with serrated disks 62, 3, Each of these disks has an opening b4centrally through the same.

To secure the pump base to the bracket base l employ the followinginstrument-alities. rThe tiret is the disk bar C, see Fig. 7. This is ashort bar preicrr-ibly of a width to lit in the channels orn the bracketbase A and on one side is provided with the serrated disk c, which bypreference placed near one end of the bar, so that said bar shall extendfarther from the disk on one side of the same than on the other. Saiddisk bar is provided with an opening c centrally through the disk andbar. The bar C is also provided with other openings c2 therethrough.

There are times when provision for adust-ment transversely of the arm ofthe bracket base is desirable in which case I employ the second part forconnecting the pump base with the bracket, which is the filling piecel), shown in Figs. 5 and 9. This lill ing piece is provided on one sidewith the broad transverse ridge or projection (l, of a width to ht thechannels oi' the bracket base, and o-n the opposite side with a channelof the saine dimensions as those ot' the bracket. An opening CZ extendsthrough the filling piece.

The bracket base is designed to be secured to the frame or other part ofthe machine to which the pump is to be attached by bolting it theretothrough the slot in either arm of such base. it will be seen that by thevariation in the length of the two arms that provision is made wherebyit may be secured in positions in which a greater or less space for theattachment is found by bolting it through one or the other of the armsand that also the disk bar can be secured to the bracket base at agreater or less distance from the part to which the bracket base isattached.

The openings c2 in the disk bar are preferably threaded and the said baris secured to the base by screws or bolts passing through a slot in thebracket base and screwing into the said openings. The serrated diskbeing placed upon the bar at unequal distances from its end, theposition of the disk can be varied by reversing the position of thc barto bring the disk nearer or farther from the part to which the bracketbase is secured, and when placed in either of the two positions, it canbe adjusted endwise by its attachment through the slot in the base.Three openings c2 are by preference provided so that the bar can besecured by two bolts or screws in whatever position placed. The openingc in the disk bar is also preferably threaded and the pump base is secured to the bar by a screw or bolt passing Jthrough one of the openingsY# in said pump base. In the position shown in Fig. G the pump is to beattached to the underside of the pump base. lf it were desired to havethe pump upon the top of the pump base, the base has only to be reversedand secured to the disk bar through the opening at its opaosite end, asshown in Fig. 3.

In cases where the bracket base can only be attached in such a positionthat the disk bar has to be placed considerably to one side of the armof the base with which it is to be connected, the filling piece D isemployed` the projection being placed in the channel of the bracket armand the disk bar in the channel on the opposite side of the same. Thethree parts can be secured in such case by a screw or bolt passingthrough the slot in the arm of the base the opening in the filling pieceand screwing` into one of the openings c2 in the disk bar as indicatedin Fig. il, or in any other preferred manner. By changing t-he positionof the filling piece by reversing the same, and placing the disk bar inone or the other of its positions, the serrated disk of the disk bar canbe brought lujo the proper position to receive the pump ase.

lt has been found that with these various features for varying theattachment of the bracket base, for varying the position of the serrateddisk of the disk bar and for varying the position of the pump base, apump can be placed in all of the various forms of construction found inautomobiles and other machines in position for effective operation ofthe pump.

l do not wish to be limited to my eXact constructions as some variationin the parts can be made without departing from the principle of myinvention.

lVhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A f` l. Abracket of the character described, comprising an angular bracket base,a pump base, and a disk bar and iilling piece interposed between thetwo, said filling piece and disk bar providing for varying adjustmentsby reversing the positions of the same.

2. A bracket of the character described, comprising among its members, abracket base, a pump base having a serrated disk and a disk bar forconnecting with the pump base, the disk on said disk bar being locatedat unequal distances from its ends whereby the position of the pump basemay be varied by reversing the position of said disk bar.

A pump bracket having a pump base provided with a serrated disk at eachend and means for connecting it to an automobile or other machine,whereby the pump can be secured to said pump base above or below thesame, by attaching the pump base to its securing means by one or theother of its ends.

4. A pump bracket having a bracket base, composed of an angular form andhaving its arms of different lengths, each of said arms being capable ofbeing secured to the frame of an automobile or other vehicle, and eacharm being also capable of having the pump sustaining parts securedthereto.

` 5. A pump bracket having a bracket base adapted to be secured to anautomobile or other machine, a pump base and connecting means includinga filling piece, capable of adjustment longitudinally of one arm of saidbracket base, and providing for adjustment transverselyof said arm ofthe parts secured to said lling piece.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.
